Well, in DOOM 3 you didn't need to rest or eat/drink in hell, due to the phenomenon known as the "Hercules effect" experienced by the preliminary science teams trips through the portal. (In game, it meant you had unlimited sprint). So that could go someway to explaining why you don't eat drink in those types of levels in DOOM. But all food stuffs would probably still be edible, and there's always bottled water I suppose...
As for backstory, didn't Romero go on record that the DOOM guy is YOU, and you can make up any story you want for him?

Food? With all that pork (pinkies), beef and mutton (Barons and HKs) lying around? Oh please.

I got Freedoom's backstory right there! AGM is an all-you-can-eat fast-food franchise (hence the infinity symbol as their logo). As a cost-cutting measure, they decide to open a gateway to a parallel dimension to send you to kill various pieces of meat. When you hit the exit button, you signal the harvesting team to come and recover the carcasses for processing.

So, I have been wondering for a very long time, and, I would like to know when does Doomguy rest during his adventures?

During the intermission screens, when he's riding the monorail system to the next level, or taking an unknown amount of time between Hell portals. He just lays back and chills with the monsters that were in the exit room. The player can also allow him to rest in a safe spot while they go to the bathroom or something.

When does he eat?

Medkits could possibly contain sterile water and MRI's, which he consumes instantly while also healing. Blue potions. Soul/Mega Sphere's rejuvenate the body completely. Getting tweaked on a Berserk stims helps too.

Did he have a family?

He had a rabbit named Daisy. Billy Blaze is his grand father and BJ Blazkuwiz is his great grand father.

Rather than Doomguy, I was always fascinated by the Shotgun Sergeant. I mean, how does one become a Shotgun Sergeant with a badass shaved head and a black combat suit, rather than a weak zombie with a dorky punk hairdo? Exactly where do those extra 10 HP they have compared to Zombies come from? How come there seem to be many more Sergeants around than Zombiemen, which are supposed to be of lower rank and more disposable? Are Zombies something like reject marines?

Plus, the Sergeant is a lot cooler when attacking, holding his shotgun with style and aplomb, while pumping you full of his hot, manly lead.

And let's not even speak about the Heavy Weapon Dude. I can't decide who's manlier: he or the chaingunner? Is becoming beefy and chunky part of his "commando" training or did the UAC simply select the most stockily-built marines? Are they all required to be bald and somewhat dark-skinned?

I think Doomguy is not human anymore - though he doesn't (want to) realize it... he's become a pawn in a much larger game. Makes you wonder if Brzezinski isn't somewhere in the shadows... pushing the buttons and placing the bezerk packs.
Btw, I envision Doom guy 6 foot even at around 235lbs with large, brutal looking hands. Probably on around 750mg of the finest Testosterone Cypionate by Pfizer(TM) before higher powers started flowing in his veins pumping him up to near superhuman levels of endurance, aggression and willpower.

I don't understand where Doomguy stores all of his weapons and ammo. I mean carrying 100 rockets on you? Where does he keep them all? they can't all fit i one backpack as well as a BFG, plasma cannon and rocket launcher
